About This Quiz

When it comes to our feline friends, people experience a range of different emotions when thinking about them. Perhaps it may be because cats are known for their mysterious natures and you never know how to interpret some of their actions. On top of which, compared to dogs, cats are a lot less interactive, meaning that you can tell what your canine friends are thinking. But for those of us who have experienced the love of a cat and know how to read them, these low maintenance pets are a treasure to own.

If you aren't well-versed in the language of cats, we can give you a few pointers. When it comes to gauging emotion, the three spots you should observe are their eyes, ears and tail. If you watch your kitty's eyes, you should notice the pupils. If they are dilated, it usually means that they're anxious or excited. With the ears, a sure sign that your advances are not welcomed is if the cat flattens their ears to their head. As for the tail, if you see that the cat is whipping its tail back and forth, get ready to be hissed at; they are not a fan of yours.
So, do you love all things feline? Let's see if we can guess after you take this quiz.
